Didn't you once believe there never was a time for restrictions and "hiding away"? You admit to being wrong then, why are you right now?

Exactly. He has been opposed to restrictions throughout but now realises he was wrong.

As a minor thread divert, Mrs B's first vaccination was not properly recorded. Fortunately she took her card with her to her second jab to demonstrate she had it. Up to her producing it, she was being refused the jab on the basis she hadn't had the first, (are they not both the same?) and even then she had to prove she was the person named on the card.
Getting the first jab recorded on the system is proving an absolute ball ache. Several calls to a help line, seemingly staffed with people incapable of understanding a simple conversation have been incredibly frustrating. The GP has now had to get involved and he is to instruct one of the office staff to try to sort it.

Hope they manage to get the mess sorted.

I had a card that simply gave the date and the type of vaccine given. No other details on it, nor were they asked for before the jab was given. Wonder how many more are in a similar situation to Mrs B.

I predict that, at the very least, the current requirement to wear masks in shops, public transport, etc will remain.

100% agree.

I think you may well be right but there must be a point when it all 'goes'?

People can continue to be cautious and wear a mask or avoid certain situations for as long as they feel the need but I’ll be interested in attitudes when there's no rule or law saying you have to.

Same here, no name.

Same with me, no name in my card.

I know her friend had the same problem at the same vaccination centre, but she didn't take her record card with her. But unlike Mrs B she wasn't met with opposition about eligibility. I don't know what she has done about her NHS record. I suspect nothing as she is a bit scatty.

Mod Note: the statement below is juist an opinion, unless a link to prove it is produced.

I was hospitalised for one night in a Covid ward of 4 ... with staff of over 20 ... mostly chatting at the nurses station while the trainee nurses did the observations ...
Was ill for 2 weeks...
Unlike you lot hiding on furlough i was out working every day, travelling across the country to make sure you had light power and food, wearing a pointless muzzle, not hiding under the stairs on 80% salary.
Clap for the NHS .... Never .. ever ...
CLAP FOR THE STAFF IN ALDI, TESCO, MORRISONS ..et al..

Me, Jules and our Grandson all caught and where diagnosed with Covid after a visit to our DENTISTS ..
13TH FEBUARY ...
And i lay no blame at the Dentists ... they weren’t on furlough, not hiding under the stairs .... not sheep ...

But ..like 99%n of “covid victims” I made a full recovery ...
I’ve never been ill ... never ... no flu, never a cold, nothing .... My Wife .... INFLUENZA ... not man flu ... and lots of other stuff ... she made a full recovery in 5 days, grandson in 2 days ... my turn of the dice ...

There are a coterie of people on here that want to wallow in the fear porn that has washed across our nation ...
We are not .....

Shepherds or Sheep ....
Choose your place in life ...
We are Shepherds.

Bring on the Inquiry .....

What a selfish, deluded moronic post that is. I, and my wife have worked all through this, not at home either. We have followed the rules and looked at the advice given by the scientists and gone further when we felt we needed to. Neither of us caught covid, nor did our kids. That may be a bit of the luck of the draw, but I would say following the advice and doing what we felt needed to be done helped to load the dice in our favour. i cannot believe why anyone who has a basic standard of education, and any understanding of risk V reward would take your attitude.

Don't get anything in Scotland, no card, just the vaccine info leaflet.
All details are recorded on medical records as far as I know.

 

[midlife]

Checked my card, at the top is printed “name” and someone has written my name in pen, presumably the nurse who gave me the first jab.

Yep my wife working in private health also, gone far and beyond just to keep her business going and protecting her elderly clients. Some of her clients have not made it through this pandemic.

Ignore the troll.

Evidence or data for long Covid stroke/neurology effects from the Lancet and BMJ, but SWMBO's had experience of working on live Covid and currently Covid rehab wards since March 2020 as a specialist care Dietitian.

She's having to work with patients who have had strokes and neurology issues as a result of Covid. And they're not old; she's got an 18 year-old who may never walk again after a major stroke plus someone in their 20's who'll not eat again because their swallow function has gone. And that's just two with all her wards currently full of similar patients.

 

[Bazzer]

Another one here who has worked through this mess, albeit at home.
As to the effects of Covid, perhaps the poster would like to speak with my wife's church minister? They both caught Covid, IIRC around the middle of last year. Both were hospitalised. The minister's recovery took time, but her husband's life has been wrecked. He has gone from a fit 50 something year old to barely able to get around the house.

That, and more, and worse, and not as bad but still devastating for the future of an active adult with a career and a young family, are the sorts of things I'm hearing from former colleagues I've kept in touch with since I retired. CT and MRI scans which are so bizarre for formerly- fit, healthy youngsters who've 'just had a flu-like illness' (according to some laypeople, who probably believe a bit of a cold is 'flu') that they actually wonder for a flash if the machine's 'gone wrong' somehow ...

Looking at the records of post WW1 'Spanish flu' is interesting. 'Long flu' (although of course it wasn't called that) was a definite 'thing' and well-recognised by the medical personnel of the day - and of course greatly puzzled-over, although with less ability to do anything useful about it for most people., unless they were very wealthy. Not that we really have a whole lot more ability nowadays - not guaranteed, at any rate - but at least it's easier to look at things and decide what might be useful ...
